The ruined world (2)
Once the location was captured, moving to that location was not difficult for Hans.
Even in this extreme environment, worse than hell, it was no exception.
He quickly flew to where life signs had been detected and glanced down at the ground.
The scenery that passed by in an instant was all similar.
Destroyed buildings, collapsed ground, devastated nature, etc.
‘This is a truly ruined world.’
The end of one dimension.
Even for someone who had faced many crises in the past, this was the first time he had seen a world that was completely finished.
Even the Ganghwan world, which was on the verge of destruction after its dragon heart was ripped out, and the Devore of a while ago also had at least a minimal chance of recovery.
‘If all life in the entire dimension was wiped out at once… how many people would have died?’
Even Hans, who prided himself on being the master of death, couldn’t easily gauge it.
If there were any traces of the victim’s soul, final thoughts, or the aura of death left, all of those things were completely dried up.
There were also corpses that remained intact, as if they had melted in the stomach.
‘But one thing is certain. At least hundreds of millions of people have lost their lives because of this.’
That was also the case when it was limited to humans only.
If you think about the fact that all life forms within the dimension, including plants and animals, became extinct because of this…
‘What on earth are you aiming at, Lord Byeoncheonhoe? Why are you doing this to such an extent?’
This world, Kosiyasu, is not the only one that has been destroyed like this.
There must have been quite a few worlds that disappeared without anyone knowing, in places they knew nothing about, under the pretext of sprouting mystery on Earth.
What on earth are you trying to achieve by committing such enormous evil deeds?
[You’ve arrived.]
With that thought in his mind, he quickly reached his destination and slowly looked around.
If only to figure that out, we needed to focus this search a little more.
This place wasn’t much different from the scenery of other places.
Except that it was a slum before, with the remains of collapsed shacks gathered together and shabby clothes, presumably worn by living people, scattered all over the place.
‘Is this it?’
Hans, having landed on the ground, walked towards the remains of one of the huts.
Then he lightly waved one hand and delicately released his magical power.
Kugu Palace—
At the same time, a bunch of junk is floating into the air.
The debris floating in front of him as if in a state of weightlessness scattered and pulled something inside towards him.
[Found it.]
Hans stared at it quietly as it came right in front of his nose.
The being that brought him here, the one that even at this moment is emitting a faint response to life.
A translucent blue crystal in which a girl in her early teens, curled up in a fetal position, clutching something tightly in both hands, was sleeping.
***
She was dreaming.
A long dream, not knowing when it started or how long it will continue.
-“#%@—!!”
He heard a voice calling him, so he turned around, but there was no one there.
As usual, only pitch-black darkness greeted her, making it impossible to see even an inch ahead.
She squatted down again, burying her face in her knees.
I thought that trying to think about it would only give me a headache, so I decided to just spend my time like I usually do.
Forgetting how time passes, who you are, and why you are doing this.
-“#%@—!!”
But this time something was different.
The voice that would normally disappear if ignored like this was once again echoing in my mind.
And it was even louder than before.
Her hands clasped her temples.
When I heard that voice, my head started to tingle and something started to come to mind, but the stabbing pain that followed immediately interrupted it repeatedly.
‘no.’
I hate being sick.
I just wanted to forget everything and fall asleep.
Deeply immersed in a world without any pain or suffering.
As usual, by myself···.
‘alone?’
Her movements as she clutched her head suddenly stopped.
Then, even more intense pain tormented her, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, already fixated on one thing.
Even in the midst of all this, her thoughts began to gradually come to her senses as she continued to hear voices.
‘I don’t like it. I don’t like being alone. I… I…!’
And the next moment.
-“Ramy—!!”
With a familiar voice shaking my head.
“Brother!”
She opened her eyes wide and raised her upper body.
“···uh?”
In a clean room that I have never seen before.

Wrapped in a soft blanket, I never imagined such a thing could exist.
She blinked and tilted her head.
“What is this… Where am I…?”
She looked around with a bewildered expression, her thoughts not in order due to the sudden change in circumstances.
A luxurious interior that she, who was born in a garbage dump and lived her entire life in ruins, could not even dare to dream of.
Her gaze, which had been examining it as if possessed, suddenly became fixed on one spot.
“ah!”
Beyond the large window on one side of the room.
There unfolded a world that I could only imagine after seeing it in a fairy tale book.
“Surely that is···.”
It was my first time seeing it in person, but I knew it instinctively.
That thing that feels so clear and transparent is something I’ve only heard about before.
That very ‘blue sky’.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
When I was just staring blankly out the window.
Behind her, from the direction of the door, a strange man’s voice was heard.
“···who are you?”
She looked at him with great caution and clutched the blanket tightly.
My head was still dizzy and my thoughts hadn’t been sorted out, but it was clear that the current situation was not normal.
Her single words contained complex questions such as the other person’s identity, what he wanted, and why on earth he was there.
“Oh, you mean me?”
I don’t know if he knows her feelings or not.
The man who entered the room carrying a tray containing water and porridge placed it on the table next to the bed and scratched his chin.
Then, he seemed to think about something for a moment, then he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Um, the detailed story is complicated, so let’s talk about it little by little. For now, I···.”
In a world where food supply is difficult to find, he has a sturdy physique, clean skin, clothes made of expensive-looking fabrics, and even glasses that are considered exclusive to the upper class.
A man of the type she had never seen before in her short life continued speaking with a sincere smile.
“···Call me ‘Hoon’.”
The first self-introduction since being born.
***
Hoon let out a short sigh as he closed the door and went outside to let the girl rest comfortably.
“I never thought things would turn out like this.”
Then I started walking slowly around the room, carefully examining where everything was.
Although I was the landlord in name, this was actually my first time visiting the house in person, so it was absolutely necessary.
“Still, it’s a good thing I prepared in advance. After all, it never hurts to prepare for anything in advance.”
This house was a secret safe house that he had prepared separately.
It was nothing compared to the well-fortified main residence on the outskirts of Seoul, but it was a house of reasonable size with two floors and even a small garden, so it had everything you needed.
‘And from now on, this will be the base of this avatar, ‘Hoon’.’
